It is rather difficult to play since the banduses keyboards and if you want to make it sound like it you have to make adjustmentsfor the guitar. So I managed to get the sound with one rhythm guitar and one 'leadguitar'. Both are in the standard tuning. Bruce plays staccato with the rhythm guitarwhile muting the strings. For the lead guitar use tremolo and treble boosting. The bassis tabbed too. I got that only through hearing and I recorded a demo mp3 to illustratethe tab.INTRO and CHORUS :
